Spoken out against victimization and wokeness while he and his wife say this country is incredibly racist. He's not trying to end a perspective, he's trying to end a way of acting. Basically: we have a mission but the way you're going about it makes us look bad.

The value of Twitter is that it is a place to disseminate information. Like them or not, but those individuals do that and the platforms that they have worked for will view it as a suppression of journalists. While I think the NYT and WaPo are propaganda machines, the whole of the country doesn't hold that opinion.
That is why we are screwed

Smart. This is the way. Temporary bans for anything other than the most egregious violations.

Make the rules clear, make the violations clear.

all tied to posts about Musk's jet-tracker, same with Mastodon for promoting a similar account over there.

musk is flagging these under twitter's new doxxing policies.

That said, Musk needs to step BACK from Twitter. Hire a board to run it, but he needs to be hands off.
So y'all really believe musk sits behind a curtain on a pc monitoring Twitter by himself?

No, they wrote a script to surface references to elonjet and links to related sites that surface to the top of moderation and he has made it clear that any violations are going to receive a suspension. No exceptions. To drive home the point.

No one of any substance or monetary value will miss them. I actually had less respect for Rupar than Olermann who is clearly insane.

Whether Elon is being hypocritical or not I have zero concern with him suspending leftists on Twitter. They delighted in Twitter suspending or permanently banning all sorts of various conservative posters. Now that the shoe is on the other foot we hearing the pigs squeal about the "threat the democracy' and the "violation of the 1st amendment".

As I was told by many liberals over the years in regards to Twitter....."don't like what Twitter is doing then start your own social media platform". Well, back at ya' libs.

Hey, even if he is, I can't blame him for wanting to play with his $40 billion dollar toy.

He hopped on a spaces with the bannees to talk about it. Said he does not allow it, and that even links to outside sites are unacceptable. They said they didn't dox him (they did post links).

Then claimed that he doxxed Yoel Roth by posting his thesis. These people.

If you want to know how insufferable they are. Brian Stelter is involved.

That's all fine but Elon certainly can't claim to be a free speech absolutist anymore

Yes, and it was a virtue signal that he never should have done. I'm an Elon fan, but he definitely sees himself too much as a man of the people. Reality is some people suck.

The kid he's pissed at comes off as incredibly immature and even the journalists that they had in their discussion were biting their tongue trying not to say "Hey, you little **** this seems pretty gross."

Who actually thought he would really stick to being all about free speech?

I mean he paid 40 billion for it, he can suspend whomever he wants. People will still call him out on it. He really wants to be adored and doesn't like people making fun of him (see the recent bannings of accounts posting videos being booed.)

Being so openly hands on with Twitter probably isn't great for his investment or his own mental health. But again, he paid for it so he can do what he pleases with it.

Either you're really reaching out your reading comprehension sucks.

Elon claimed to be all about free speech "comedy is legal" and all that jazz. That's clearly not the case and it would have been stupid to believe him.

As far as doxxing goes I've been fairly consistent in that I don't support it. Hell before I was open about who I am, I was doxxed on TA.

Elon can do whatever he wants with Twitter because he bought it. That include unbanning or banning whomever he likes. Some people will stay some people will leave.


Pointing that out is hardly goaltending.
